Aged 1 year and 8 months
DESMOND SYMONS
Aged 5 months

With profound sadness, we share the heart-breaking loss of Maddison and her little brother Desmond, who passed away on Thursday, 6 November 2025.

Deeply loved and adored children of Loreena Krause and Jake Symons, held in their hearts forever.
Beloved grandchildren, cherished always by their grandparents.
Deeply missed by their loving family, joined in grief from many places.

So very young and so deeply loved, Maddison and Desmond brought immeasurable joy in their brief time here. Maddison, with her ready smile and cheerful spirit, turned ordinary moments into treasured memories, while Desmond, a bright and joyful little soul, found his greatest comfort in loving arms and looked up to his big sister as Maddy’s little light - the precious brother who completed her world.

They will be forever remembered by all relatives and friends of the family, and mourned by their community.

Family and friends are respectfully invited to attend a service to honour and farewell Maddison and Desmond, to be held at Lighthouse Baptist Church, 480 Norman Road, Norman Gardens QLD 4701, on Wednesday, 26 November 2025, commencing at 10.30am.
